Police have arrested a woman following the alleged theft of a car in Preston this morning.
Police were called to Peck Avenue, Strathmore following reports of suspicious activity at a house about 9.30am.
Upon police arrival, a male and female drove off in an alleged stolen white Hilux ute and were last seen travelling through Strathmore, Pascoe Vale and Coburg streets.
Shortly after, police believe the same ute rammed a garage door into a block of flats on Muchell Grove in Coburg and gained entry to the garage.
Police and dog squad members were hot on their heels and located a 21-year-old woman inside the flats.
The woman was arrested and is currently assisting police with their enquiries.
Investigators are yet to speak with the male driver of the car and urge him to come forward.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or with any information or dash cam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
